Wish they could have landed Wiebusch but Lindberg is a nice add. An upgrade from any of the three forwards that portalled out, in my opinion. Good size still, but better speed than any of them.

Is that how it works in the off season? Can programs openly contact players from other programs and see if there’s any interest in coming over? Or does the player/player’s agent need to initiate that? If it’s the former, I could see how annoyed Kris Mayotte might be losing one of his key pieces. 

I don't know what you technically can and cannot do in terms of contacting the players themselves, but coaches are in regular contact with players' agents about moves like this.

If it ends up being Lindberg and Magnussen, those are two good replacements for the Littler and Klee departures. Then it’d be great to get two CHL high enders to complete the forward group.

Yep. Lindberg and Magnussen are good pieces, but we will need a little more high-end scoring punch from our CHL adds

It’s not allowed but it happens. How do you think we got Rickwood last year?

Would be floored if they got 2.

I honestly don’t know how the sausage gets made, that’s why I was asking but I suspected that’s the case-it’s a free for all and I’m sure Mayotte, like all other coaches, isn’t sitting on the sidelines, waiting for players to contact him either.
